Chapter 152

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Konoha Village, Sasuke was sitting by a campfire recovering his strength.

There were several other people beside him.

These people are the four people who came to meet Sasuke.

Sakon Ukon, Kidomaru, Jirobo, Tayuya!

Tayuya: "You still have enough energy, why did you stop to rest? Are you deliberately stalling for time so that Konoha's ninjas can catch up?"

Sasuke glanced sideways at this guy named Tayuya.

"If the opponent really catches up, how can we fight without any physical strength at this time?"

"Besides, if I didn't want to escape Konoha, why would I defect? ​​Do you think a defecting ninja can regret it?"

Tayu also didn't expect Sasuke to have such a hot temper that he would be unable to get off the stage just by saying a word.

This guy has no fun whatsoever.

"Enough rest! Let's walk! I won't stop for the next three hours. Since you think rest is a waste of time, then just walk!"

"I hope your physical strength is really that good!"

Sasuke stood up and prepared to continue!

This time, the faces of several people are not very good! Spoon.

Chapter 196 Strange Clouds Goodbye Shigure

"Basically all the Jonin of Konoha have left the village, and the remaining ninjas are barely able to guard Konoha!"

"Maybe they won't send ninjas after us at all!"

Kidomaru said, while Sasuke sneered, "Do you think there are no powerful ninjas in Konoha?"

"Just because there are no jounin doesn't mean there are no powerful ninjas."

Kidomaru was very confused, "Does Konoha have any secret troops?"

"No, but if those few people are sent out, even though they are genin... they must not be underestimated!"

Genin?

Kidomaru and others looked at each other. They didn't quite understand why Sasuke cared about a mere genin.

rear.

Shikamaru is chasing Sasuke and others.

Neji saw Shikamaru start running in one direction as soon as he left Konoha. Although Shino was not assigned to the task, Shikamaru called Shino.

The bugs from the Aburame clan can help chase Sasuke.

After determining the direction, Shikamaru kept asking everyone to speed up.

After running wildly for more than half an hour, Neji finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Shikamaru, if this direction is wrong, then wouldn't our run be in vain!"

Hearing this, Shikamaru turned back to look at Neji, "No! This direction must be correct!"

Shino: "Neji, please believe in my technique! Insects can't go wrong!"

Neji shook his head, "It's not your ninjutsu problem. There are many ways to deceive you into chasing bugs, such as letting people take Sasuke's clothes and escape in other directions!"

"No! They won't!"

Shikamaru said with great certainty.

"Why?" Neci didn't think so. If it were him, he would!

"Because there is no need, Sasuke defected to Konoha, where there are no powerful ninjas now. Who can say that he can defeat Sasuke 100%!"

"You have also seen what happened in the Chuunin Exams. Don't you still know what Sasuke's strength is?"

As Shikamaru said, he looked in that direction, "Even if he faces a Jonin, Sasuke is confident that he can defeat him, so does he still need to use these methods?"

"Furthermore, Orochimaru will send someone to help Sasuke. With manpower, Sasuke will not have to worry."

"So what they need to do is leave the Country of Fire as quickly as possible!"

"And the fastest way to leave the Country of Fire is this direction!"

Shikamaru said as he turned back, "In addition, Shino has also determined this direction, so I say this direction is correct!"

After hearing this explanation, Neji was stunned for a moment, but it made some sense.

"Now keep accelerating, I know a few ways to get us faster!"

As he spoke, Shikamaru turned at a fork in the road and headed to the right!

Although Sasuke is fast, he probably doesn't know these roads. A straight line on the map cannot be walked in reality.

Therefore, we have to take detours around obstacles, and Sasuke mostly takes the main road, while Shikamaru takes shortcuts.

In this way, although Sasuke left first, Shikamaru and others gradually closed the distance with Sasuke.

In addition, Sasuke seems to be worried and will always retain enough physical strength to cope with the battle that may arise at any time.

So every three hours, he would stop and take a break.

Shikamaru and others slowed down, but distributed their physical strength evenly. After all, such a long distance, so evenly distributing physical strength and maintaining a neither fast nor slow speed was the fastest way to move forward.

The pursuit lasted a full eight hours.

By the time these eight hours arrived, it was already dawn.

At dawn.

Suddenly Ino said, "I sensed Sasuke's chakra!"

Ino was now being supported by Choji. If it weren't for Choci, she wouldn't have been able to hold on, and she finally sensed Sasuke's chakra.

This also means that Sasuke is no more than 500 meters in diameter from them!

"Everyone, hurry up and catch up with Sasuke!"

Neji was very excited.

Finally caught up with the mission target.

However, Shikamaru suddenly said, "No! Everyone stop and start to rest. Ino, you continue to sense Sasuke's chakra. Once they start to move, we must also start to move and keep a safe distance from them!"

"Why?" Neji looked at Shikamaru.

"Do you still have the strength to fight now?"

Neji was stunned for a moment. He was indeed exhausted after eight hours of running. Even if he rushed forward at this time, he could only watch Sasuke slip away.

They will even be killed by the other party's people.

After resting for half an hour, the group did not recover much physical strength.

Compared with the mental state of Sasuke and others, they are simply too poor...

At the very least, they need to rest for another three or four hours before they can recover enough to fight.

At this moment, Ino suddenly opened his eyes.

Seeing Ino's actions, Shikamaru immediately asked, "What's wrong? Did Sasuke and the others start to move?"

"No!" Ino shook her head, and then her expression changed from surprise, to confusion, and finally to joy.

"No...no...this is...this is...Shigure's..."

Before he finished speaking, a cloud suddenly floated in the sky.

The clouds stopped just above the heads of several people, and the sun was blocked by the clouds.

The moment everyone raised their heads and looked at the sky, a small black dot fell from the sky.

Everyone stared at the small black dots, which continued to expand and expand in their eyes.

Sudden!

A cloud appeared on the ground, like cotton, steadily catching people falling from the sky.

Choji, Neji, Xiao Li, Shino and others instantly put on fighting postures.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded.

"Long time no see! Everyone!"

Neji was startled: "This voice is..."

Xiao Li rushed forward: "Shigure?"

However, at this moment, Ino, who flew out of the crowd, jumped up and flew towards Shigure's direction.

Shigure was stunned for a moment and opened his hands to hug Ino who was flying towards him.

The next second, the two of them fell directly into the soft cloud 4.7 fog.

"Shigure...you..."

Ino was now filled with tears and could not speak completely.

Shigure, on the other hand, patted Ino's head.

"It's fine!"

Looking at Ino, Shigure already knew that this girl should already know about her leaving Konoha!

There is no need to think that Shikamaru must have told her, but as a member of the Zhu Lu Die trio, Shikamaru would not tell others but it was impossible not to tell Ino. In addition, Ino had a family secret, so he would know it sooner or later.

While doing it slowly, Shigure looked at the people in the distance.

"I didn't expect that we would meet so soon!"

"Shigure...you..."

Now Neji and others were looking at Shigure blankly. They didn't know the news about Shigure leaving Konoha, but they were not blind.

Shigure is now wearing the Kirigakure ninja forehead protector on his head! ! ! .

Chapter 197 The pursuit battle and the meeting with Sasuke

Everyone's eyes were focused on the forehead protector on Shigure's forehead.

Shigure raised his hand and touched the forehead protector on his head, and then asked calmly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my forehead protector?"

Behind him, Shiro and Chojuro had just landed.

Shigure looked back at the two of them, "Didn't I wear my forehead protector properly?"

The two shook their heads.

"Shigure you..." Shikamaru opened his mouth to say something but didn't know how to say it.

Neji: "Why are you wearing Kirigakure's forehead protector?"

Shigure glanced at Neji, "Shouldn't Kirigakure's ninjas wear Kirigakure's forehead protectors?"

"Have you also betrayed Konoha?" Neji's face turned a little uncomfortable.

Shigure did not answer this question, but Shikamaru interrupted Neji, "If he was also a defecting ninja, the village would have issued a mission to capture him!"

Hearing this, the others were also stunned, right!

If Shigure was a defecting ninja, then the village would have issued a mission to capture him long ago. How could it be like this?

"Yes! If you didn't defect, why would you... be Kirigakure's ninja!"

Xiao Li asked.

Ino: "Okay, don't ask anymore, Shigure-kun, how are you doing in Kirigakure13?"

Shigure nodded, "Not bad! If nothing else happens, I will probably become the next Kage!"

These words made Neji and others even more confused. A Konoha ninja would become the next Kage.

Is it really possible for Kirigakure Village to do this?

"Okay, let's not talk about me now! Let's talk about this mission!"

Shigure looked at Shikamaru and put Ino down in his arms.

"Ino has sensed Sasuke's position. Sasuke is now within 500 meters of us in a straight line!"
